How seal Meat 10 Cooked.

Seal meat as cooked by the natives is of

that when killed the seal is simply
skinned, the blood rel aiming in the car

meat. To unaccust6ned stomachs seal
meat is unpalatable, ITS taste resembling
fish more than flesh, while the oily odor is
Of course prevalent; but if when newly
caught seal is bled and the flesh allowed
to soak for few ht urs, the meat, either
fried or baked, becomes palatable. When
frozen there is scarcely any flavor percep-

Prison Life in siberia.

sentence is To simple Punishment for three

town. district or province, and must re-
port TO the police at stated intervals. He
may engage in certain specified Occupa
tiOns, or rather in any occupation which
is not on a prohibited list: for example, he
may teach music or painting, but he may
not teach languages, as they afford the op-
portunity for propagating revolutionary
ideas He may become merchant, farmer,
mechanic. contractor or anything else oil
that sort and it not infrequently happens
that prison eXiles enjoy degree OF pros
perity in their new homes that they did
not have in European Russia. EXiles and
their sons have become milliOnaires in
Siberia; a former Vanderbilt of Irkootsk

son of an exile serf, his enormous fortune
having been gained in the overland tea
trade.

the government, but cannot return Il

MIR. ID. II. Roche Explains to the Firemen
Some Mis-statements of the Times.
To the Editor of the Republic;
DEAR STR-Kindly permit me through
the columns of your valuable paper to cor
rect a false impression that has been made
BY a reporter for the Sunday Times. The
article appeared in last Sundays issue of
the Times, and starts out as follows :
General Agent Roche made the most cut
ting remark when he said during the time
the shops of the company he represents
were burning. that by the Superhuman eff
forts Of the firemen the well and cellar
would be saved. etc" To the firemen |
wish to say this is simply gross misrepre-
sentatiOn on the part Of the Times reporter.
The remark was not made by me, but by
an outside party, who, in way of ''joke,
simply repeated what he had heard another
! party say one time at a fire. and not in a
sarcastic manner as this reporter of the
/ Times would have you believe. The COM
pany | represent are under many Obliga-
tions to the firemen for their heroic efforts
/ to save the property and for special fayOrs
after the fire was extinguished. This pa
per. the Times, has made several drives at
| me in the past two months, but they were
of such a silly nature paid no attention to
them. as | should have done in this case
had this person not placed me in false
light with the iiremen. Thanking you
kindly for the space have occupied,
am yours, respectfully.

THE RECEPTION or THE RESTORED
REPTRIIC.

The purely voluntary, unsolicited marks
of favor that have been bestowed upon the
REruBLIC since recent changes were con-
summated are unprecedented in the history
of this psper-certainly for much more than
quarter of a century. We may say, fur
ther. that we have never known anything
equal to them in our experience and obser-
vations in journalism. These demonstra-
tions have come in most substantial form,
in the way. largely, of new subscriptions TO
the daily issue of our paper, in instances
where our old-new friends could not wait
for a visit from the solicitor-who is usually
ubiquitous, if not actually omnipresent.
Letters of congratulation, containing
expressions of hearty approval, from
friends in this city. and in New York,
Washington, Brooklyn. and other cities in
the country, have been received by the
editor of the RErUBIIC in such large
numbers that he has not the time To reply to
them in detail. as he would be glad TO do, but
must content himself with expressing his
thanks and the thanks of his associates IN
this wholesale way. and in briefly assuring
these kind and appreciative friends, one
and all. that their friendly missives are
very tenderly and heartily appreciated and
that it will be the constant aim of all con-
neeted with the REPUBLIC concern to do
their very hest to put the paper up to a
high journalistic standard and to keep il
there.
We think we have a great pleasure in
store for the subscribers To the DAILY
REPUBLIC. in the double-sheet edition of
the paper for Saturday evening, the first
issue of which will make its appearance on
the 2ath of January. in place Of the Sunday
issue of the following day-neNt Sundays
RsPrBLIc being the last Sunday issue of
the paper.
We shall not rest satisfied with present
attainments. but shall make the paper bet

Some curious superStitiOns are also to
be noted. Ifa person is sick, iron tools,
such as axes or knives, cannot be used in
the house. Upon mans grave his sled
is placed, but broken TO pieces, and his
kyack meets similar usage. Furs, spears
and rifles are also deposited, while if the
individual! has killed many whales the
long Jaw bones of the bai8ns are placed
in an upright position TO mark the spot.
Those people bury their dead upon the
ground, raising number of pieces of drift
wood in the shape of tent over the re-
mains Owing TO this insecure mode of
burial the wood soon falls down and
affords entrances to foxes and dogs, which
make havoc with the body. But little re-
gard is paid TO the buSal places, although
these mutes are very much incensed when
ever attempts are made TO take away
any skulls or homes from the graveyards.
They also make long detour in passing
the resting place of the dead, and will on
no account touch anything once deposited
at a burial-San Francisco Call.

INDrsTRTIL TRAINING IN PUBLiC
SCHOOLS.

BY way OF Suppleinentlng NHal was sdiu
by President Lorenz, of our school board
in commendation of the idea of introducing
manual labor in eur public schools. We
take pleasure in showing what has actually
been done in this line in our nameSake
(Springfeld) in Massachusetts. The hrst
move was made By its board about two
years ago. There was much doubt, at
first, as to the practicability of the idea,
but it was decided that honest expert
ments should be made. At first the girls
in the grammar grades were instructed III
cutting, fitting and making garments.
Work in this line had such satisfactory re-
suits that last year, an appropriation Of
81, 900 having been secured for the purpose.
the basement of the high school building
was fitted up with thirteen carpenters
benches. and sufficient number of wood
working tools was procured. As the law
did not permit attendance at the manual
training school TO be made compulsory,
volunteers from the lowest class at the high
school and the highest two grades Of the
grammar schools were called for, the only
condition stipulated being that they should
be not less than thirteen years old. Eighty
four responded. of whom twenty-five de-
sired To attend during the summer vacation,
and work began July - with two classes,
which received three lessons week. From
time 10 time facilities have been extended,
and the number wishing TO receive instruc
ton has been increased. Ihe girls and
boys who have received this industrial in
structon go out Of school knowing how tC
do something that is not only useful tC
other people. but which enables them Il
earn their own livelihood. Then. they have
acquired habits of industry which will heiT
| to make them good citizens.
The next move at our sister city is in the
direction of an institution which shall cost
about $40. 600, which shall have facilities
for instructIng 100 pupils, thirteen year:
old and upwards. selected by merit aftel
passing the highest grade but one in th'
grammar schools, tO whom shall be given {
three wears course in carpentry. pattern
| nlakiilS. Nbou ltihSs t'i suns '4h-
ing, soldering and the use of machine ShoT
tools, alongside of course in mathematics
drawing, the sciences, and the Englisl
branches of the high school.
A significant fact to be considered in con
nection with this is that the principals o
the high and grammar schools testify tina
the time devoted TO manual training has no
retarded the progress of the pupils in thei
regular studies. and the superintendent o
schools declares it in his opinion mos
successful feature of the system.
Springfield, Mass. is, like Springfield
o., manufacturing city, and, on genera
principles, experiments which are success
fully worked in the first named city may b
expected to work here.

While all people may not agree with the
clergy in this case, we'd ike TO find soms

employed for the dancing the ballet would
cease in a single season. II is sustained
